  POTHOLES COST BRITISH MOTORISTS £100,000,000 A YEAR 9 Jun 2007 (News)
  Kwik-Fit believes that much of this expense is down to the increased number of alloy wheels fitted to cars, which are softer than steel and less resilient to impacts. Furthermore many alloy wheels come in larger sizes and sport low profile tyres - decreasing the amount of tyre and air available for protecting the car from bumps in the road.

  Volkswagen looks to shake up electric SUV market with new ID.4 3 Mar 2020 (News)
  .  A fully functional prototype of the ID.4 was due to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2020; however, following the  cancellation of the event due to the coronavirus , the vehicle's launch has been limited to a somewhat low-key reveal with a handful of camouflaged images of the car. The ID.4 is expected to use the same electric powertrain and battery system as the  ID.3 hatchback , which goes on sale in 2020. This means the electric crossover will most-likely use a 77kWh battery, positioned near the centre of the underbody to maximise cabin space and create a low centre of gravity.

  General Motors in talks to sell Vauxhall and Opel 16 Feb 2017 (News)
  . McCluskey was quoted in The Guardian saying: “It does seem as if Brexit is a factor in GM’s thinking as its UK business relies heavily on its links throughout the EU supply chain. "Without a shadow of doubt, UK car plants must be offered the same assurances as those given by the government to Nissan…we need the Government to be clearly committed to securing access to the single market for the UK auto industry.”

  Goodwood Revival 2014 to honour Sir Jackie Stewart 9 Aug 2014 (News)
  Already making waves in sportscar racing, Stewart was spotted testing in early 1964 by Goodwood track manager Robin Mackay, who helped to arrange a Formula Three trial at the circuit with Ken Tyrrell’s team that went on to open the door to worldwide stardom for the then 24-year-old young Scottish racer. The very Cooper T72-BMC he drove during that test is one of 24 cars that will form of the tribute to Stewart. His three Formula 1 World Championship titles will be marked by a 1969 Matra MS80-Cosworth and a Tyrrell 006 of 1973 period. The Lola T90-Ford, which famously broke down during the closing stages of the 1966 Indy 500 while Stewart was over a lap ahead of the field, will feature, as will the BRM P261 in which he claimed his maiden F1 World Championship race win at Monza in 1965.
